Note: Never dispose of medicine through the septic system. (Never flush it down the toilet or sink.)

To properly dispose of pharmaceuticals, render the medication useless by dissolving it in water and then soaking it up into an absorbent material such as kitty litter or waste paper. Then throw the material into the garbage.

Another option is to contact your local pharmacy to inquire about returning the old medication for disposal purposes. You may also choose to deliver it to a household hazardous waste handler.
